The first butterfly ever scientifically described is Papilio machaon, The Swallowtail. It is also sometimes called "Old World Swallowtail" to distinguish it from the many hundreds of other swallowtail species described since then. The type specimen of it still exists. Regardless of any taxonomic changes that ever take place, that one original P. machaon specimen will ALWAYS be considered a butterfly.
Binary nomenclature, also known as scientific classification, is a way to work through the known characteristics of something to get an exact identification. In the general population, most people would use this classification process in helping their children with school projects such as the identification of leaves, insects or minerals. If you know a bird-watcher or a butterfly enthusiast, you might notice that they refer to a small book, or an electronic app, whenever they are not quite sure of the specimen they are viewing. They are trying to indentify, through specific characteristics, the bird or butterfly. Therefore, you must identify a population first, and then determine what that population would want to classify.
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Hedylidae.
The scientific or taxonomic name would be Castniidae.
